Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021111097A1] The present invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle (100) comprising: a flight system (4) for producing thrust to manoeuvre the unmanned aerial vehicle (100). The flight system (4) comprises: one or more flight rotors (42) defining a plane passing through each flight rotor and a thrust direction generally perpendicular to the plane; and one or more electric motor (44) for driving the one or more flight rotors (42). The unmanned aerial vehicle (100) further comprises: a cargo area for coupling to or receiving a load (200); and a load system (6) for providing thrust additional to the thrust provided by the flight system (4) to thereby lift a load attached to the connection point. The load system (6) comprises: a first gas turbine propulsion system; and a controller configured to control the flight system (4) and load system (6).
